Gosh, I didn’t see _that_ one coming. I think my chances of proving God’s existence to you are about equivalent to your proving the existence of your intelligence to me.

I hereby challenge you to an [\*\*IQ test at dawn](http://www.pressanykey.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/pak/jquiz.cgi)\*\*. Choose your favorite #2 pencil, sharpen it – and shove it up your ass.

As for ‘proving God,’ write your semantic sleight bullshit – squiggly symbols and all – on a placard and go parade around Times Square with it. Stop, preach some more, place upside down hat in front of you. You’ll find yourself in good company there.
